Need2speed is at it again, getting a choice date on January 16th 2010 for it’s twelfth Dead Hooker track event. They have also once again put together a street car shootout with over $1000 up for grabs. The main sponsor of the event is Fully Built Inc. out of Tampa Florida, with several associate sponsors coming on board once again for a nice increase in payout.
This wagon was a participant in the 2009 Drag Week.
The popular DH events bring cars from all over the state for some good TNT and fun grudge racing between friends and the shootout is gaining popularity.
The last event had a bit of controversy concerning the winning twin turbo Viper owned by Lee Saunders out of Lakeland. He did swap over the some street tires. but the car is a back half piece with wheelie bars. Some members felt it was not in the spirit of the event so changes were made to ban those mods this time around. Never the less, there should be some mid eight second players on hand to take a shot at the $$$.
Just to show ET is not everything Blair Brannock went red on an 8.59 pass against Saunders last time. The runner up was a street driven third gen Camaro out of Orlando who drove to Bradenton and back for the event.
The Dead Hooker 12 event will be held on January 16th with gates opening at 4 PM with racing from 5-10 PM. There is also an open test and tune at the track the same day from 10-2 for anyone that wants to get some early testing in
